kaḍatā (कडता).—m Excess above the forty-sher-maund (weight-maund) given in selling certain articles, e. g. 1½ sher per maund of oil, of tūpa, or of gūḷa. kāṇṭā is a deduction made, in favor of the aḍatyā, from the ākhēṃ or half pallā, e. g. of 5 sher per ākhēṃ of tūpa or of gūḷa, 3½ sher per ākhēṃ of oil. In some parts kaḍatā is an excess of 10½ sher per pallā of weight, and kāṇṭā is a surplus of 2½ sher, total 13; which, added to 120, the nominal amount of a pallā, constitute a pakkā pallā. In yet other districts there are other differences of the quantities of both kaḍatā & kāṇṭā.
